Mission Statement
Timuquana will offer its members, their families and guests exceptional social, golf and recreational experiences, which foster enduring friendships and preserve community.
It’s hard to believe my year of presidency is coming to a close. It has been a challenging but rewarding tenure with several successful Long Range Capital Projects completed during the year. Notably, the reopening of the golf course in August ahead of schedule, and renovations to the Golf Shop, Heritage Hallway, and restroom facilities, further enhancing our Club’s ambiance. In addition, we instituted an essential change to the new member vetting/invitation process to better manage the high demand and resultant waitlist of potential new members. Finally, I am quite proud of our official launch of the Timuquana Cares Employee Foundation and the excellent support from our membership in funding this endeavor to help our staff in times of need.
In this, my last letter to the membership, I would like to extend my sincere appreciation and gratitude to my fellow 2022-2023 Board of Governors and all the committee volunteers. Thank you for dedicating your time, valuable input, and constructive feedback to reviewing and adapting policies and creating new programs for the membership. Working with you all has been a privilege and an honor.
Special thanks and recognition are in order for three gentlemen who will be rolling off the Board in April following their three years of service. Spencer Cummings has positively impacted his role as House Chair as we transitioned the Food & Beverage Committee to the House Committee in 2022, broadening its scope to include Clubhouse-related policies. The Committee has successfully reviewed Clubhouse Customs & Traditions and made minor modifications to ensure the courtesies and values of TCC are consistently met by our members. In addition, their valuable input in Food & Beverage operations has continually helped improve the overall member experience over the last few years.
During his time as the Golf Committee Chair, Tom Bishop had a full plate and accomplished a great deal as well. Tom and the Committee had a challenging few years managing the boom in play following the pandemic and post-golf course construction. The Committee has navigated this demand by adapting guest policies, tee times, and tournament entry procedures.
Last but certainly not least, I’d also like to give special thanks to Mike Muldoon, our beloved Past President and current Chair of the Long Range Planning Committee, for his incredible persistence in navigating the inflation pressures seen during 2021 and for overseeing the various improvements that were made to the Driving Range and Clubhouse interiors. His love for this Club and tireless efforts to foster our great culture are second to none. We are thankful to these three men for their leadership, investment of time and talent, and significant contributions over these past three years.
I greatly appreciated and enjoyed the opportunity to serve as your Club President. I have strived to “stay the course” of prudent fiscal management of Club assets while constantly trying to enhance our facility and member experience. I am proud of our accomplishments over the past 12 months, our dedicated and top-notch professional staff, and the excellent reputation this membership and Club enjoys within our community. As I turn the reigns over to Mike Oates as our incoming President, I thank you all for your support and look forward to seeing you around the Club as we celebrate our milestone 100th anniversary.
With sincere appreciation,
Jim Thompson
2022 - 2023 President
